    12 Hour Trip – Coronado Islands on June 26, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Captain Austin and Trevor were great very knowledgeable and super friendly and made our trip amazing. while we were unable to catch the yellow tails that we were hoping they took us to a few spots and we caught a ton of white fish and calico bass and my boys had a great time .

    Spectacular boat, fantastic crew!

    12 Hour Trip – Coronado Islands on March 25, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Outstanding day inshore fishing with my kids. Highly recommend. Captain Zeke and First Mate Shawn truly know both their profession and their waters. Great coaching for my youngest daughter too (I think they got her hooked on the sport!) Only reason for four stars instead of five is because of some difficulty locating and entering the specific dock. Thanks again guys. We’ll look you up next time we’re in town.
